Field Handbook: 4R Nutrient Management of SUGARCANE in Myanmar

IPNI has developed a 4R concept for nutrient stewardship. The core of this approach is application of the RIGHT source of plant nutrients at the RIGHT rate, the RIGHT time, and in the RIGHT place. The four “Rs” or “rights” of 4R Nutrient Stewardship are essential in the management of plant nutrition to increase sustainability of plant systems. A balance should be maintained among the four “rights” so as not to overemphasize one at the expense of another. IPNI Southeast Asia Program has developed a series of Field Handbooks for Myanmar in local language to share knowledge. Please contact seap@ipni.net for collaboration in Myanmar.

IPNI's Mission

The mission of IPNI is to develop and promote scientific information about the responsible management of plant nutrition for the benefit of the human family.

IPNI is a global organization with initiatives addressing the world's growing need for food, fuel, fiber and feed. There is widespread concern for issues such as climate change and relationship of crop production to the environment and ecosystems, and IPNI programs are achieving positive results. Best management practices (BMPs) for nutrient stewardship encourage the concept of applying the right product (source), at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place.
